A co worker who was single once asked me if I considered getting frozen so that in the future , when they had a cure for what killed me, I could be thawed and cured. I just listed the names of my five sons and she was dumbfounded about what I was talking about. Another person said he listed the names of his sons. I then told her I am going into the future with all my sons and grandchildren. We just love our get togethers and we also have a one week reunion where we rent a big house to fit everyone in. On the other hand my brother has no children and is a skier and hang glider in Jackson Hole. He tells people he didn’t have to have any because his brother did more than his share! He does have a framed picture of all of our family from our last reunion on his desk. He loves it when my sons take their families out there to visit him. This is America, people are free to do what they want, but having children is the greatest joy of many people.
